NOTES:

The VM roles created using Failover Cluster Manager GUI are supported.

"Virtual Machine Configuration" resource must be offline while trying to add the dependency.

If a VM is residing on a CSV which is not dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension XP",

then an error is thrown and no further operations are performed on that VM.

The Confirm parameter and the Force switch parameter are provided.

The cmdlet performs the operations irrespective of the storage array type of CSV.

Online help for the cmdlet is not supported.

Example 1

C:\PS>Add-VMDependencyOnCLXXP

This command first finds out all the virtual machine configuration resources that are residing on all

the cluster shared volumes. After getting all virtual machine configurations, it tries to make each

virtual machine configuration dependent on resource of type "Cluster Extension XP for VM

Management".

If virtual machine configuration is already dependent on "Cluster Extension XP for VM Management",

then the cmdlet moves to the next virtual machine configuration on a CSV.

However, if there is no existing dependency on "Cluster Extension XP for VM Management" but

resource of this type is already existing in the VM role, virtual machine configuration resource is

made dependent on the existing "Cluster Extension XP for VM Management" type resource. If it is

not present, a new resource of type "Cluster Extension XP for VM Management" is created and

virtual machine configuration resource is made dependent on it.

While creating the dependency, the virtual machine configuration resource must be offline, otherwise

the dependency is not created.

If a virtual machine configuration is residing on a cluster shared volume which is not dependent

on resource of type "Cluster Extension XP", then an error is thrown and no further operations are

performed on that VM.
